Movement of fluid & electrolytes A. Passive transport (no energy required): Osmosis : Fluid move from higher concentration to lower concentration Diffusion = Molecules move from higher concentration to lower (Concentration gradient) Filtration = Fluid and diffusible substances move together across a membrane; moving from ↑ pressure to ↓ pressure Hydrostatic pressure : Fluids moves from an area of higher pressure to area of lower pressure B. Active transport ( energy required): Sodium-Potassium Pump 12
Concentration of Body fluid Units of solute concentration are osmolarity and osmolality Osmolarity : Number of osmoles of solute per liter (L) of solution . It is expressed as osmol/L e.g 1 mol/L NaCl solution has an osmolarity of 2 osmol/L Osmolality : Number of osmoles of solute per kilogram(kg) of solvent . It is expressed as osmol/kg Normal serum osmolality=280-298 mosmol/kg 13
Clinical relevance of osmolality Calculation Serum osmolality (mosmol/kg) = Effective osmolality: O smotic force that is mediating the shift of water between the ECF and the ICF = The osmotic gap (osmolal gap): is the difference between the actual osmolality (measured by the laboratory) and the calculated osmolality A normal osmolal gap is < 10 mOsm/kg 14 2(Na + +K + ) mmol/l + Urea (mmol/l)+ Glucose (mmol/l) 2 x Na + (mmol/l )+ Glucose (mmol/l)
Regulation of Body Fluids Body fluid Homeostasis is maintained through Fluid intake Hormonal regulation Antidiuretic hormone(ADH) Renin-Angeotensin-Aldosterone Mechanism Natriuretic Peptides Fluid output 15
A. Fluid intake Intake is control by hypothalamic thirst center ↑ plasma osmolality of 1–2% ↓ plasma volume 10%–15% Baroreceptor input, angiotensin II, and other stimuli Moistening of the mucosa of the mouth and throat Activation of stomach and intestinal stretch receptors − ve 16
1. Antidiuretic hormone(ADH) ADH: Secreted by the hypothalamus, and stored in the posterior pituitary gland ADH is released by, thrust, ↓ fluid volume, High serum osmolality Acton reabsorb water from collecting duct of kidney inhibit sweat glands to ↓ perspiration to conserve water acts on arterioles , causes constriction thus ↑ BP ADH is Inhibited by Excessive of fluid volume Low osmolality of serum 17 B. Hormonal regulation
2. Renin- Angiotensin-Aldosterone Mechanism Low blood volume ↓Renal perfusion Angiotesinogen Angiotesin I Angiotensin II Aldosterone ACE ↑ Proximal renal tubule Systemic vasoconstriction ↑ Na & Water reabsorption ↑ Na & Water retention ↑ BP Renin ↑ ADH ↑H2O absorption Water and salt retention ↑ effective circulating volume ↑Renal perfusion Net effect Jaxtaglomerular apparatus
3. Natriuretic Peptides Natriuretic Peptides Atrial Natriuretic Peptide(ANP ) from atria Brain Natriuretic Peptide(BNP) from ventricle Action Acts like a diuretic that causes sodium loss and inhibits the thirst mechanism Inhibit rennin release Inhibit the secretion of ADH and aldosterone Vasodilatation 19

Regulation of Sodium & Water Major cation in the ECF (N=135 - 145 mEq/L) Combines with chloride and bicarbonate to help regulate acid-base balance Recommended daily in take 2.5gm/day Kidney regulates sodium balance and is the principal site of sodium excretion Aldosterone helps in sodium and water conservation 23
Potassium regulation Major electrolyte and principle cation in the ICF Regulates metabolic activities Required for glycogen deposits in the liver and skeletal muscle Required for transmission of nerve impulses, normal cardiac conduction and normal smooth and skeletal muscle contraction Daily intake 1-2 mEq/kg Regulated by dietary intake and renal excretion Intestine absorbs about 90% of ingested potassium Regulate by renin-angiotensin-aldosterone mechanism 24
